Doing Righteousness and Justice (Prov, 20:29-21:31)

Today's passage isn't just about men. Now we hear of a quarrelsome woman: "It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife."

What are these interjections about quarrelsome women?! Proverbs – as we have seen many times – is written from a father to his son, teaching him the path of life – showing him how to walk in the way of Wisdom.

Wisdom literature often takes this sort of form. Song of Songs is sung by the Bride to her girlfriends

The Father says to his Son – think about what sort of woman you should marry!
